To whom it may concern,
I was excited to see an opportunity to apply for a job which almost perfectly matches my experience, skills and career ambitions. Aside from the right qualification (BA Hons in Film Production from The Arts University in Bournemouth), here are three key reasons to consider my application:
Solid experience in Avid, Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro
I have edited a total of over 1000 projects, on Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere. Many of these films have gone on to film festivals across the globe. Including Cannes Film Festival Short Corner and Raindance Film Festival in 2014 to name a few. I have also edited a small selection of videos that have been broadcast on television, both nationally and internationally. These films range from Comedy through to Drama, Fiction to Documentary and Live Action to Animation.
Unstoppable enthusiasm
Four years of practical coursework creating films, understanding the theories behind film editing and the work flow on the practical side of the discipline confirmed that my choice to study Film Production was the right one for me. Whether it's working in cross-functional teams or alone on independent projects, seeing the tangible results of my efforts is a huge, personal reward.
Keen to progress
I'm looking for career-building opportunities in an environment where I can learn and flourish. I worked at Oscar and BAFTA winning visual effects Double Negative as a VFX Editor, which has given me valuable information
